every description of ism is detrimen-
tai to the country's institutions. II
was rather like the dropping of the
rain into the sea, and the rain be-
coming of the same nature as the
sea. The great safeguard of the
nation is her home influence. In
every American home is taught the
story Of how the people acquired
their liberties, and thus from child
hood they are imbued with the love
of liberty. The home is typical of
the nation.
Mr.. Crowley's address was fol-
lowed by national music, at the close
of which came
THE PICNIC.
Abundance of sitting accommo-
dation was provided under the shade
trees, and numerous walters ana
mattresses, distinguished by minia-
ture flags attached to their persons,
attended to the wants of all. Ex-
cellent food and every variety of
temperance drink were furnished in
rich profusion, and people procured
whatever they were disposed to have
without any hustling or confusion,
notwithstanding that probably from
two or three thousand persons were
fed.
DANCING.
After the crowd of visitors had
been well served with refreshments,
detachment of the Band laid down
their instruments onl y to take up
new set of stringed instruments and
become Quadrille Band, under the
immediate leadership of Professor
Berger, to play for the dancing in
the Pavilion. A programme of -
dances was successfully gone through
with, there being an average of
twenty couples on the floor at each
dance. The remainder of the Band
took up seats at a distance under the
shade of the trees and discoursed,
at intervals, sweet music to those
who were engaged in watching
THE FIELD SPORTS.
These were conducted under the
personal supervision and encourage
ment of Mr.. II. M. Whitney, Jr.,
who performed his arduous duties
with that good humor and tact of
his which are well known. Mr..
Whitney was ably seconded by
different individuals from time to
time. The programme and results
of each event were as follows:-
100 Yards Race.
Nine starters took part in this race
which was won by Hay Wodehouse
with G.. Rosa second. As some
thought that the race ought to have
been declared a dead heat it was run
over again with the result of con-
firmation of the previous decision.
The Standing Broad Jump was
next on the list and resulted in a
victory for VIM. Moore, over seven
other competitors, with a jump of 8
#. 7 in, Vincent Fernandez coming
second with 8 #. in.
Then came 10 boys under II to
compete for their 100 yards race
with result that w. Lucas came
in ahead easily, followed by j.
Thompson.
In putting the Sixteen Pound
Shot fourteen competitors tried their
strength, but after tie of 33 #. .
in, and another of 33 #. in, John
Freidenberg was declared winner on
a put of "a it. 5 in, with VIM.
Moore second with 80 it. in.
In the $50 Yards Race nine COM
peted and George Rosa came in first
with ease and j. Brown second.
The Running High Jump brought
competitors to the tape with win
for John Kea at 81 inches, George
Rosa coming second. Kea after
wards topped GO inches on second
trial.
The Sack Race brought u sacks,
with men and boys inside to line,
and after hundred yards struggle,
in which all the other competitors
had fallen or were distanced, B.
Campbell, who had added to his
sackcloth q comical sun bonnet,
came in a splendid first, with David
Greig second.
Climbing the Creased Pole for a
time seemed to attract no COMPETE
tors, but, after about a dozen native
boys and young men had in their
various efforts and lodges aroused
the hearty laughter of the immense
crowd gathered round, a Manihiki
named Tom, by tying his feet to-
gether with piece of rope, managed
to win the ten dollars given as a
reward to the first who should reach
the top.
In all cases where two prizes were
given he first received ten dollars
and the second five.
Every arrangement had been made
for the amusement of the juveniles,
and they certainly availed them
selves of the opportunity.
The bulk Of the people remained
on the grounds until near the close
of the day, but many made their way
back to town early in the afternoon.
